Chapter 289
The assistant was nervous as he asked, “Sir, what does Caroline Evans mean by this?”
Liam’s eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t know either. He had never interacted much with Caroline before.
He only knew that she was a brainless sort of woman. Jude Morrison had always been supportive of he
r becoming Eddy’s wife, but she had given up on that opportunity.
After some thought, Liam made a call to Layla and waved his assistant off.
The assistant quickly went outside.
Layla answered just as the door closed. “Your guess was right, Ms. Evans, Caroline Evans indeed cam
e to see me.”
Layla was currently playing cards. When she heard this, she smiled in satisfaction. “I see. What did she
say?”
“She said she would acquire my company within half a year and pay more than the market price.”
Layla burst into laughter, causing her friends to look up and ask, “What, are you going to win?”
Layla snickered. “No, I just heard a very funny joke.”
As she said this, she got someone to take her place in the game and walked to the living room.
“Were you swayed?” Layla asked Liam.
Sycophantically, Liam said, “Indeed, but it’s just a shame…*
“What’s a shame?”
“It’s a shame that she doesn’t have that kind of ability. She talks a big game, but she doesn’t have any
skills and doesn’t know what she can do.”
Layla’s smile only got wider. “It’s good that you’re aware of this. As long as you get Sloan
to choose me. Fil have Eddy give you guys more business. You’ll each get much more than those few h
undred million dollars.”
“Yes, of course,” Liam replied.
“But there’s something else I need your help clarifying, Ms. Evans.”
Layla asked, “What is it?”
“Before she left, Caroline sent me a text telling me I should discipline my son. What does she mean by
that?” As he spoke, he forwarded the text to Layla.
Layla only glanced at it before scoffing. She said, “Scare tactics. She’s always been like this, so you do
n’t have to worry about it.”
“Alright.”
Layla hung up the phone and returned to the table. When she did, her friends teased her, saying, “Was novelbin
that Mr. Eddy calling?”
“No.”
“Liar. It has to be Mr. Eddy.” One of the women looked at Layla in admiration.
She said, “Layla, once you become Evans Group’s CEO, you’ll marry into the Morrison family soon afte
r. I admire you so much! Your career and love life are both great.”
“Yeah, and you’re marrying Mr. Eddy too. Oh, I’m so envious!”
“And the most frustrating thing is that Mr. Eddy is so dedicated to Layla alone.”
The woman sitting next to Layla played a card.
“For Layla, he even went against Mr. Morrison Senior’s orders. That’s powerful love right there. I’m so j
ealous!”
They all laughed.
